Post-nephrectomy outcomes in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 Patients using ACEi, ARB and SGLT2i: a N3C database study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeNephrectomy can lead to hyperfiltration, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We hypothesize that medications decreasing intraglomerular pressure have a positive impact on glomerular filtration among other outcomes after unilateral nephrectomy. The study investigated the possible impact of the SARS-CoV2 infection known as COVID-19 on outcomes among the unilateral nephrectomy recipients.
methodsNational Clinical Cohort Collaborative (N3C) database COVID19 Enclave was analyzed using multivariable linear regression and specific outcomes of eGFR values up to 3 years post-nephrectomy, occurrence of ESKD, HTN, FSGS, and gout.
resultsIn the non-COVID19 group, use of ACEi or ARB alone associated with a decrease in eGFR between 1 and 3 years (- 2.71 95% [- 3.90 to - 1.52]; p < 0.001), use of SGLT2i alone correlated with an increase (Coef 5.04 95% [0.781-9.301]; p = 0.02) while the concomitant use of ACEi or ARB with SGLT2i was not related to a variation in eGFR. These associations were not observed in the COVID19 group. COVID19 infection associated with an increased risk of post-nephrectomy ESKD development (HR 1.309 95% [1.066, 1.607]; p = 0.01), FSGS (HR 6.952 95% [2.685, 18.00]; p < 0.001) and gout (HR 1.411 95% [1.043, 1.907]; p = 0.025).
conclusionRAS blockade did not demonstrate any significant impact on the incidence of FSGS. The analysis was limited due to the absence of patients with both SGLT2i use and FSGS. SGLT2 inhibition correlated with an overall beneficial effect on the eGFR trend post-nephrectomy.
